Harry watched as the clock moved its hand to four fifty in the afternoon. He heard the doorbell ring. He hurried downstairs and heard a voice outside.

"Moony! Why must you be so punctual? I stood here for a whole minute before you hit the bell ringer."

"It's a door bell, Sirius. You did have muggle studies. Did you learn anything in the class?" Remus asked. Harry opened the door watching the two bicker, them not even notice Harry there or the door opened.

"Yeah, that professor could teach."

"I rather not know what she taught you," Harry said with an eyebrow raised.

"Probably not, cub, knowing him, we're all doomed," Remus said as Sirius huffed indigently. Remus and Harry chuckled.

Sirius rolled his eyes. "I have a trail to go to."

"I thought, Sirius, that you wrote Remus's girlfriend was supposed to come instead of you," Harry smirked.

Remus glared at Sirius, Sirius and Harry smirked and then Sirius laughed. "Poor cousin broke her angle walking down the stairs. Clumsy, that girl is."

Harry shook his head. "Are we going or are we going to let him stay guilty?" Harry said.

Sirius smiled at the thought of being innocent. Remus told Harry to grabbed his arm and the apparated to the Ministry of Magic. They hurried up to a trail room where Harry and Remus watched Sirius sit in the middle of the room with the whole court (Imagine Harry right before fifth year) watching him.

"Are you Sirius Orion Black?" asked the Minister.

"Yes."

"Will you willingly take veritaserum, so, we know you are telling the truth?"

"Yes," Sirius said and took the potion.

"Are you Sirius Orion Black?"

"Yes."

"Did you tell You-Know-Who where James and Lily Potter's home was?"

"No," Sirius said.

"Did you kill Peter Pettigrew?"

"No."

"Did you kill the thirteen muggles?"

"No."

"Where you the Potters' Secret Keeper?"

"No."

"Who was?"

"Peter Pettigrew."

"Dumbledore testified he did not know about the switch. Did any one know?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

"Albus Dumbledore."

There was a murmur among the court.

"Was there any written consent of this?"

"The Potters' will."

"Who votes for Sirius Black's innocence?" the minister said. Most people had their hands up. When he heard snickers he looked and saw Sirius Black himself had his arm up. "Sirius Black, put down you hand. Plus, you're innocent and according to the Potters' will, you and with the help you a Remus Lupin will raise Harry Potter. Our next case is Albus Dumbledore…"

Sirius took the antidote to the truth potion.

"What Remus, let's see if the potion really worked," Harry said. "Sirius, am I your favorite godson?"

"No," Sirius said jokingly.

Harry gasp, "Even without the potion I was sure I'd get a yes." Then, with a mock glare, "Considering I'm your only godson. I am your only godson right?" Harry asked with a fake high pitched panicky voice.

Sirius and Remus were laughing, though, the joke was stupid. It was mostly just being, there together, as a different kind of family, but a family nonetheless.
